I think RIM needs to aggressively price this.. get the people that are hesitant about it to take a look if the price is good.

if it starts at 499, people will just ask, why not go with an ipad?

i think if they start at 399, then 479 and 549 for the higher memory models, they’d really make a splash.

they’re shipping a million if the reports are right.. economy of scales right? lol

$450ish for the mid range would be the sweet spot RIM should shoot for

im still upset that they wont have the microsd slot to them but maybe with the bridging capabilities, you’re phones sd slot will work in tune with the playbook

well i assume the bridge could access files from your phone’s sd..

Well, if there is no expandable memory and you only have 16 gigs…you never know. Memory usually gets cheaper as you go up. You’re going to pay $400 for 16 gig but for $100 more you could get double that, $200 more and you’re get 64 gig.

i actually think paying 100 for 16gig more is kind of a rip off.. this is where i agree the microsd would have been key.. you can buy a 16gb microsd for like 40 bucks

From that angle, true. If you look at the price of the product though, the price is going up 25% (from $400 to $500 and I’m guessing at what the prices will be) for a 100% increase in memory. But yes, expandable memory would have been cheaper and provided more flexible options. MicroSD cards come in multiple sizes, some people don’t need an extra 16 gigs, but maybe a 8 gig card would be nice.

and not all microsd cards are created equal. the lower speed ones would likely slow down file access, playing videos from it etc
